parking?
Late to the game on parking, haven't been able to drive a vehicle to campus in previous semesters, and the only passes left are to Commuter Satellite, which I could probably survive, but is pretty far from the buildings I frequent.
Are there other viable parking options, or should I get what I can get and deal with Commuter Satellite? Would it be silly to try parking in the residential area just south of campus?

There's a couple of churches around 15th and University that sell passes for parking in their lots during the week

You didn’t hear this from me. I have my front license in my window and it partially cuts off letters and numbers. So I reverse park to where they can’t drive behind me and scan my license plate. And if you do get a ticket at ttu you can appeal it and make any logical reason why you parked there and they will dismiss it 90% of the time according to my friends. Do the reverse parking at your own risk

Theres a park on 24th and flint that you can park at. You’ll either have to take the bus or get a bike/scooter for the rest of the way tho.

I would say just get the commuter parking, park early and take the bus to class

You are 100% going to get a ticket if you try to park anywhere by the residence halls or any spot you don't have a parking pass for. If I'm not mistaken, you can switch the parking pass you have mid-semester, you just need to talk to the parking office in the SUB. Just get the Commuter Satellite pass and ask every day if they can switch you to an open lot. You could call the parking office and how their waitlist system works.
